Muddy Creek Sam, SASS# 78004 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 How do I go about fitting a new ejector to work reliably? Thanks, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenny Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Contact Long Hunter down in Texas. He can probably help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Howdy MC Sam. A new ejector should drop right in. BUT, they can also be 'tweaked' for a smoooooooth glide in the bolt channel and yet still have good force to throw out your empties quickly. Another way to help smooooooth the operation of your bolt going back and forth over the ejector is to also smooth up that channel area where the ejector slides. When these two things are done correctly, you can actually insert your bolt and slide it back and forth over the ejector and have very little, if any, resistance in the bolt movement. Ifn you think you need Professional gunsmith work on your Marlin, no doubt about it.....LongHunter is top notch. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to be my Wild Bunch Gun. Feed slick as a Whistle. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Are you talking about a new Marlin or one of the old ones? First trick with the old ones is to find an original style ejector. The new ones use a little round stud that fits into a hole in the receiver. The old ones have a large round end that fits into circular cut in the receiver. They don't interchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen, It is the old style, Gun is a 38-40 with a 4XX Seriall Number, Newest Patent date on it is 1893. I ordered the early Model Ejector from Numrich.
